I love trying to find that one person who's on Facebook on their laptop in every JP video

[elmeromero]

Crazy, I asked myself the same question years ago before I started watching JP last year and to this day almost everything I watch and read is me trying to find the answer to it.

[elmeromero]

Is great question because if you knew the answer to it. You can pretty much attain most, if not all, of your goals. How should you act on an interview to get the job? How should you act around people you attracted to so they can be attracted to you too? How should you act when alone to improve yourself?.. This guy is something else 😂

And here I was thinking that the most important question in life was how to not die.

[SawyerKnight]

I've found that it really doesn't matter what other people think of you or what they think in general. the vast majority of people are overly dramatic, emotional, selfish, and extremely ignorant on all subjects of substance.
but don't listen to me, I'm overly dramatic, emotional, selfish, and extremely ignorant.

What's for breakfast? It is the most important meal afterall.

[nukepizzaa]

so the question is how to conduct yourself in society while the answer is in the reaction of those around you to your actions? :v

[wetalksports]

How should one conduct yourself in the world

[MrNiKsD]

Wrong title dude... He says in the beginning what is not the most important question is and explains that.

Always sad for me to see kids staring at their screen while there's such an important life lesson passing right in from of them. Sure they are "taking notes" but I'm sure it would be more impactful if they just listened.

[rareword]

To be or not to be, that is the most important question.

[muf]

SO what is the most important question in life?

[garybryson]

The most important questions in life concern God. Who is God? What is God like? Does God demand anything of me? Can I know God?

[yohami]

"how should one conduct ourselves" is an objective question and can be answered in an objective manner.

[bobmiodovski]

Wrong answer Mr. Learned Professor. The most important question is: "Where will I spend eternity/"

Is he drinking a fucking can of bud light? lmao
